Political cartoon: Fandom and SixApart

[buggery]

Last night brown_betty, in between writing brilliant posts and comments about the "clarification" (I do not think that word means what they think it means) of LJ's permissible content policy, she came up with a brilliant idea for a political cartoon about the whole mess.

Alas, as she lamented to me, Betty cannot draw. (I'm not sure I entirely believe this, as I haven't yet come across anything else she can't do.) She described the cartoon she envisioned so well I thought I could almost see it too. So, I offered to try drawing it for her.

Peek shot: I learned that drawing goats is hard. (Sheep are, if anything, easier than when I was in grade school drawing them for some project or another.) But Betty says she's pleased with how it turned out, and since it's her artistic vision it was meant to illustrate, I succeeded at least that far.

The quotation is from Matthew, chapter 25 verse 32, which reads in full,
And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats; (KJV)

Who knew sheep could be such woobies?

So is it just my brain going, or does one of the sheep remind *you* of you, too?

*giggle*

My first reply was "they're all too cute to look like me!" but I know you won't let me get away with that.

They are quite adorable sheep, though. Which one do *you* think looks like me?

The one standing on the imaginary line between "from another, as a shepherd" and "divideth his sheep" if it extended all the way across the drawing.

Um. It looks more like you in the larger version; I sized the final image down to spare everyone's bandwidth and keep the cartoon to a comfortable viewing size. Maybe I'll crop the you-ewe out to a separate file and upload it at its original size so you can see?

Or maybe I miss you so much I just see you everywhere.

I would *love* to see the Ovine Me in larger format.

I really wish I could come for a visit and be compared with it in person. *gently hugs your knees*
